Graphics Anyone?
For the blip.tv account, it has come to my attention that Obsoleet needs some new graphics in the following dimensions: 540x800, 980x400, 220x150. Instead of adapt my same old design, I am posing it to the community to see if anyone can come up with anything else, and have their work showcased on the page (and anywhere else I feel like). I may also adapt designs for shirts later on down the line....

Now on RantTV!
Obsoleet is now on RantTV, the oldest internet television station! If you used to be big into the iptv scene, Rant will ring a few bells. Not only did they have a video stream of popular web-only shows, but also produced their own video shows featuring Sean Kennedy.
Every episode of Obsoleet is now included in the rotation, and if you tune in to the stream, you can view awesome content from...

Auduino and Stuff
It’s been a bit more than two months since the last episode of Obsoleet hit the internet, and you might be wondering what the deal with that is. Well, a multitude of things come into play here. My personal life, and my professional life have undergone some changes lately, and I don’t have the time or energy I once did. I am by no means saying that I have no time whatsoever, things have...

Torrent RSS
I have “created” an RSS feed for the torrents of episodes available here,
http://feeds.feedburner.com/ObsoleetTorrents
I basically made a feedburner pointed at an RSS feed that corresponds to searching for ‘obsoleet’ on Kickass-Torrents. This way, if I upload a new torrent, it will pop up in the feed. Now, I used feedburner so there is an easy transition if I ever decide...

Annoucing IPTV Torrents!
So I’m sure many of you know my work with the IPTV Archive, and in a similar idea a new site called IPTV Torrents has officially launched today. This project is spearheaded by Corrosion of DeAuthThis, secret52 of Hak.5 torrents, as well as myself. The site is a cross between a public and private torrent site. While you can download torrents without registering, the real fun comes when you...

Lack of Episode
So there has not been an episode release in a two months. I hinted it may happen, and it has. Why? you may ask. Well, there have been numerous setbacks to take into mind. For one, school is demanding more time than I had anticipated. There is also the problem of a combination of leaking and flooding within my filming area. This ended up ruining a book shelf and temporarily scattering the contents...

RSS Feed Update
I realized today that the RSS feed was pointed at the wrong place. It allowed you to get the episodes, but it was the feed for the iTunes releases. You don’t have to do anything on your end to see the changes, and by seeing this post you can be assured everything is working.

Now with Facebook
For those of you who are socially-minded, I have created a Facebook page for Obsoleet that you can list under your television section. You can easily access it here. I thought it would be a fun way to involve the community if nothing else. I’m not the biggest fan of the Facebook page system, but I think I can work out a happy medium.
Edit: Link fixed!

Electronic Beer
A few weeks ago I was given a shoutout on episode 17 of the podcast Electronic Beer which is hosted by a group of people from Thinstack. It is an entertaining podcast focusing on beer and current events. Good for a listen, and great if you are in the chat channel on a live streaming night, which takes place every Wednesday.

Odds and Ends
Thought that I’d share a section of Archive.org which I use to store miscellaneous stuff for the show. Some makes it into an episode, some doesn’t; it is really a mixed bag. Inside you will find the show’s theme song, an earlier version of the theme song, and the VHS Disasterpiece video. More stuff will be coming, and if it is interesting enough, I’ll probably make a post...

iTunes and Miro
I successfully got iTunes working by creating a little wordpress blog to post .mp4 files to that are generated by archive.org when I upload the Xvid, the link to get the show on iTunes is here, http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/obsoleet/id378988732
I also found out a little bit ago that Blip.tv does Miro for me as well. The Miro link can be found here, ...

VHS Disasterpiece
This is not an episode, it is more of an experiment and a product of boredom. Thought I’d share it with the world instead of keep it to myself.
You can also download this (ridiculously large) video in XviD from Archive.org.
I decided I wanted to see how VHS degraded through the process of copying. Some people may be experienced with “workprint” cuts of movies. A workprint is...

Episode One Aftermath
It has almost been a week since I released episode one, and I have a few things to share.
I got mostly warm reviews for the show, here are some of my favorites:
From Shinmaryuu via Twitter: Really is the shot of new tech blood in the arm IPTV needed.
From ionfarmer via Twitter: Obsoleet TV, a 2 word review: Fuck Yeah!!
Shinmaryuu also made a blog post about the release which can be seen...

Progress
Well, the show is getting off to a pretty good start. One segment was filmed, “The Lineman’s Handset.” If you want to check it out, drop into the chat and ask for a link. The next segment to be filmed is “Podcasting on the Cheap” which will hopefully be completed this weekend. I also have some more ideas revolving around telephony which I hope to get out of the way...
